Lisa Leishman, SPHR

“I cannot say enough about the course offered through USU to better prepare me for the SPHR exam. The instructors were subject matter experts for each of the modules and they provided incredible instruction. There is no way I would have passed the exam without the class, and I would highly recommend this opportunity to anyone planning to take the exam. Thanks team!”
